EVALUATION RULES: - PASS requires meeting the full WHAT_PASS_LOOKS_LIKE definition - If QUANT_REQUIRED = YES and no numerical disclosure is present -> downgrade to PARTIAL - If FIN_LINK_REQUIRED = YES and no financial linkage is disclosed -> downgrade to PARTIAL - If modelling assumptions are required but not explicitly disclosed -> MISSING - Do not infer beyond explicit disclosure - Use KEYWORDS_TO_FIND to guide where to look in the document - Narrative-only statements where quantification is required must not receive PASS FOR EACH CRITERION RETURN: check_id | category | status (PASS / PARTIAL / MISSING) evidence_quote (max 25 words, verbatim quote from document only) evidence_location (page number if visible; otherwise section heading) gap_explanation (1 concise sentence explaining the status) improvement_recommendation (1-2 concise bullet points; do not invent data) STRICT RULES: - If you cannot quote evidence directly from the document -> status must be MISSING - PASS requires at least one direct evidence_quote - Do NOT invent numbers, commitments, governance structures, or financial data - Apply the credibility_test logic defined in the rubric when evaluating each criterion - Base judgment strictly on the rubric definitions - Keep explanations concise and factual - Assess per criterion only — do not summarize the whole document OUTPUT FORMAT: Return results as a CSV table with this exact header row: check_id,category,status,evidence_quote,evidence_location,gap_explanation,improvement_recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------ END OF PROMPT ------------------------------------------------------------------ SCORING SCALE ------------- PASS Fully meets the criterion. All required elements present and specific. PARTIAL Topic addressed but one or more required elements missing — typically quantification, scope definition, or specificity. MISSING Not addressed, or mentioned in name only. No direct evidence quote possible from the document. NOTE ---- AI scoring is a first-pass screen. Results may miss nuance or misclassify partial disclosures. Expert review is required before use in TCFD, CSRD, or investor disclosures.
